SHINE Community Mural Reveal & Opening Event
October 7, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
This year SHINE St. Petersburg Mural Festival has partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tampa Bay and Florida Dream Center to empower children from South St Pete to “Dream Big. Be Big.” through art, at the Childs Park Recreation Center.
This partnership will reveal a beautiful mural co-created by local artists, Derek Donnelly & Chad Mize, working directly with Fairmont Park Elementary School to teach students about muralism and painting techniques. “Littles” and their “Bigs” will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to create an artistic legacy for their community.
On Saturday, October 7th, come celebrate this amazing community and leave your mark by applying your handprint and initials directly to the wall. Watch a CARMADA art car be painted live and enjoy a DJ set by the Childs Park Teen Council.
This is a FREE event. All ages welcome.
Special thanks to the City of St. Petersburg, Florida USA Parks and Rec Department!
